Summary:
The 67838 zip code area is home to three schools - Deerfield Elementary, Deerfield High, and Deerfield Middle School - all part of the Deerfield school district. Unfortunately, the data indicates that these schools are performing well below state averages on key metrics like test scores, attendance, and graduation rates, with no clear standout schools in the area.
Across the board, the schools have significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math compared to the state, with Deerfield Middle School having the lowest at just 22% proficient or better in ELA and 1.96% in Math. Attendance is also a concern, with all three schools reporting high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 19.5% to 19.5%. The four-year graduation rate at Deerfield High and Deerfield Middle School is 89.5%, with a 1.3% dropout rate.
Socioeconomic factors may be playing a role, as the schools have high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 69.39% at Deerfield Middle School to 77.61% at Deerfield Elementary. Spending per student also varies, with Deerfield High spending the most at $20,464 per student and Deerfield Elementary spending the least at $10,859 per student. These disparities, along with the high student-teacher ratios, suggest that the district may be facing resource and staffing challenges that could be contributing to the overall low performance across the schools.
